Clayton County Airport-Tara Field

at Clayton County Airport - Tara Field

Tara field is a nice airport but the FBO office acted like they had better things to do than help us out when we came in. (the line crew were nice though).

Tara is an excellent field for training and to visit the beautiful South Atlanta area! Also, check out Pan Pacific on the field for some world-class flight instruction in state-of-the-art aircraft (C172SP, DA40XL, DA42TwinStar) at competitive prices. Pan Pacific runs a charter operation with comfortable J32 service too! Very uncongested for primary students, yet close enough to the class B action for the advanced students!

Read my previous post after reading this one... Headed to 4A7 to work the Saturday race... I am based out of ALX and noticed no traffic on radio the entire flight. Got within 13 miles of Tara Field and realized my radio is not working. 2 weeks earlier my wife bought me an Icom handheld and it saved the day. Told the folks at 4A7 I was "nervous just realized my radio was out and was on a handheld" and they told me I had the all clear to land...They are such great people. They calmed me at least enough to land and once on the ground talked to me like they have known me all my life. It sure made an embarrassing moment pass quicker. Thanks again 4A7 see you next race, if not sooner.

While the Clayton County facility isn't the fanciest place around, it was certainly up to the task. The Enterprise car I requested arrived on schedule, and my fuel order was filled by the time I returned the next day, at a fairly reasonable price. If you're looking for glamour (and $5 gas!) go elsewhere, but if you just want to land and do what you have to do, this is a fine place to do it.

Unfortunately the folks at Tara have gotten greedy when it comes to fuel. They use to be the low cost leaders in this area. Now, they are .40/gal higher than Griffin (10 miles away) and .55/gal higher than OPN (25 miles away). Trying to make too much money on the Atlanta Motor Speedway crowd, but affecting us all. Oil and gas prices have plummeted over the last month...Not at Tara. Go somewhere else! I do!

Just got my Private Pilot 9/15/06 and did a dry run into Tara Field the week before the race. Race day my wife and I came in about 9:00AM and I actually must have made a mistake by flying a short downwind and cutting a King Air off on approach. I do apologize for this if it was my fault but just wanted to say the tower was great to me and the King Air wasn't mad. I put it down fast and got off the runway as quick as possible. Once on the ground I expected a tongue lashing only to get a great reception from the ground crew. What did I learn? Always ask "what number am I to land". Thanks Tara Field... I will be back and better every time...

Avoid this airport unless you want to deal with complaints of line crew.
